VANITY BOX.

Application filed February This invention relates to a vanity or beauty box, which is adapted to be placed on a bureau or other support, theI general object of the invention being to provide the box with a plurality of compartments for holding various articles, with the cover of the box holding a pincushion and mirrors which are accessible when the cover is in raised position.

Another object of the invention is to form the box with a. drawer which is also divided into compartments and to provide wings at the sides of the box which are divided into compartments, some of which are closed by hinged doors placed in the wings.

rFhis invention also consists in certain other features of construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings and specifically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawings wherein like characters denote like or corresponding parts throughout the several views, and in which Figure l is a plan view of the box with the cover open and the drawer and doors in partly open position.

Figure 2 is a side View of the box with the parts closed.

Figure 3 is a front view of the box.

Figure 4L is a section on line 4-4 of Figure 2.

Figure 5 is a section on line 5-5 of Figure 3.

In these views, the body of the box comprises the center part l and the wings 2, the wings having their frontends extending beyond the front of the center part and the said front ends of the wings are rounded, as shown. A horizontal partit-ion 3 is arranged in the part l and divides the same into a lower space which receives a. drawer 4 and an upper space which is divided by the partitions 5 into a' plurality of compartments. The drawer may be divided into a number of compartments by the partitions 6. A horizontal partition 7 is arranged in each wing for dividing the same into upper and lower compartments, access being had to the lower compartment of each wing by means of the hinged door 8 which is of curved form to conform with the front end i2, 192e.k serial No. eases.

of the wing. Each door and the drawer are provided with knobs 9 for facilitating their beingopened and closed. A hinged cover 10 is provided for the box and this cover is formed with the central part ll for covering the center part of the box and the side wings l2 for covering the wings of the.

box. rI`he central part ll is rounded at its upper part to form an interior space lto re- .ceive a pincushion 13 and each wing ,1 2 carries a mirror 14 on its inner face. Thus when the cover is moved to open position, by grasping the knob l5 on the front of the center part thereof, the pincushion and both mirrors will be exposed. This raising of the cover will also expose the chambers in the top of the center part of the body in the four chambers or compartments formed in the upper portion of the wings 2 of the body, each wing having the cross partition 16 in its upper part to divide this part into two chambers or compartments. The lower compartments are accessible by opening the doors 8 and the lower compartments may be used for brushes, combs and the like.

The box can be used for holdingface and other powders, a powder puff, hairpins and other pins, jars or containers of cold cream and the like and various other articles which are liable to be misplaced if placed in a bureau drawer, on the top of the bureau or other article of furniture.

The device not only provides a handy receptacle for receiving various articles but it also makes an attractive addition to the bureau or dressing table.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

I desire it to be understood that I may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall within the scope of the appended claims.

What I claim is 1. A vanity box of the class described, comprising a body, stationary wings at the sides of the body, a cover for closing the body and the wings, articles carried by the inner face of the cover and partitions dividing the body and its wings into compa-rtments.
